Go Paolo, "Sei stupendo" to me! You've got the look, voice and an amazing song.

What ever will be the result in the end, to me it's a winner.
All the best of luck!

Plagiarism should not be encouraged in the ESC!

This song should be removed from the competition, and people should stop voting for it on the polls!

i think this is copy .. but i cant remember of what song.

In the same genre as the Romanian entry, but the strange change of beat halfway through makes the Swiss entry somewhat confusing. I doubt it will score very high in Belgrade.

Good luck to him and Switzerland! This is such a sweet ballad. Hope it does well.

if eurovision is to be fair! this will be realy among these countries: Switzerland, Sweden, Portugal, Iceland, Romania and Israel! I think this are the best songs...at the end switzerland wins!

Love it, have doubts it will qualify or win but i think it is the best song this year.

On the plagarism issue, some similarity to the Amy Diamond song (which i rather like and Sweden shoudl have sent her he he) however not that similar, just some simlar chords, and not a significant part of the song i think, but i am not the most musical person in the world so i could be wrong.

Great song!!!! (My No. 1 out of 43 songs)

And that Paolo, he is sooooooo good to look at...

@ Ayka and everybody else

Amy Diamond's father, who is her manager HAS contacted the Swiss team and they made an agreement they would change the song. this according to amy's website.
it hasn't changed yet, so it it's staying like this I won't vote for something STOLEN

btw, same goes for Portugal. that song is stolen too

Ayka F:
Amy said in an interview on esctoday when asked about the similarities "I didn't write the song, the songwriters have to do something if they want to". I don't think they have, or we would have heard about it as the composer of the Swiss entry is Swedish too.

I too like the Swiss song.

best is iceland, followed by switzerland, then sweden

i hope all of these qualify - i will vote for them 3 :)

this is an amazing song, and i will be furious if it misses out on the final against some crap from other countries

@Lee Williscroft-Ferris
Darko s is one of the most highly appreciated contributors in this site...his pungent humour and shrewd comments make this site worth checking everyday. Dont rush to criticise him if u r not familiar with his writing...plz

God, who is this absolute misery Darko S?

You make a manic depressive look and sound like a Teletubby on Prozac.

Isnt it a shame that this will struggle to qualify while the plastic revenge from sweden in the same semi will walk her way through neighbour bloc voting....

Eastern Europe should vote for Switzerland as well!!!! Switzerland deserve a TOP-3 place....
